Neuland Lighthouse, Heritage lighthouse in Behrensdorf, Germany

The 40-meter tall Neuland Lighthouse stands on the western shore of Hohwacht Bay, constructed with brick and positioned one kilometer from the Baltic Sea coast.

Built between 1915 and 1916, the lighthouse began its service in 1918 with a Fresnel lens that provided illumination reaching 400 meters across the waters.

The lighthouse appears on the coat of arms of Behrensdorf municipality, representing the strong connection between the maritime structure and local identity.

In 1996, the lighthouse transitioned from regular maritime service to military use, now displaying red and yellow signals for live firing operations in Hohwacht Bay.

The German postal service recognized the lighthouse's regional importance by featuring it on a commemorative postage stamp in 2006.
